Frank Zappa’s son to make tour stop in Joliet Son of late musician to perform songs from ‘Roxy & Elsewhere’

BY LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Dweezil Zappa.

“Don’t Eat Yellow Snow” and “Montana.”

The young Zappa is scheduled to take the stage at 9 p.m.

Tuesday night at Mojoes in downtown Joliet.

Zappa’s stop in Joliet is part of a U.S. tour called “Zappa Plays Zappa,” a tour honoring his father’s career with songs played in sequence from his father’s album, “Roxie & Elsewhere.”

He played with his band Monday night in Madison, Wis. Tickets are $25 if paid in advance and $28 if bought the day of. VIP tickets, which include early entry, a guaranteed table with seating and waitress service, are $28, according to Mojoes’ official website.

Vatican journalist will speak at Lewis University THE HERALD–NEWS ROMEOVILLE – Vatican journalist John Allen Jr. will speak March 20 at Lewis University on the topic “The Francis Revolution: Taking Stock of the New Pope at the One-Year Mark.”

Allen will argue that Pope Francis’ impact on the Church amounts to a revolution in Catholic life, according to a news release from Lewis University announcing the event.

He will speak at 2 p.m. in

the St. Charles Borromeo Center Chapel, which is located on the main campus in Romeoville.

The event is open to the public at no charge.

Allen works for CNN as its Vatican correspondent and senior analyst.

He reported on the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis from Rome.

He spent time in Argentina developing background on Pope Francis, and he has

covered the pope’s major trips and decisions.

His presentation is the 12th annual Signum Fidei Lecture organized by Lewis University’s Center for Ministry & Spirituality.

The lecture series intends to celebrate the university’s heritage as a Catholic institution sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers.

For information about the March 20 event, email cms@ lewisu.edu or call 815-8365786.

The news brief “Man held on $5M bond for shooting mom, teen,” that was on page 2 of the Monday edition of The Herald-News, incorrectly stated a girl that was shot Thursday in Romeoville had died.

The girl was not declared dead until early Monday morning. The article cited another news source for the information, which in turn cited the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

Where does it all go?

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

Rockdale attempts to keep up with hills of snow Snow removal is hard enough when you’re on the level.

But keeping hillside roads clear is critical in Rockdale, where a main route and several side streets lie on a very steep grade.

“We have to keep ahead of the snow because of the hills,” Mayor

Lathan Goumas – lathangoumas@shawmedia.com

A mound of plowed snow blocks a row of parking places Saturday at the Louis Joliet Point shopping center in Joliet.

“We’ve had to take our Bobcat in and move piles to open grass areas because otherwise you are coming out further and further into the parking lot. Obviously, people need somewhere to park.”

Brenda Zeiter Owner of Zeiter Landscaping Inc. of Minooka munications at JJC. “We have not had a significant increase in traffic accidents, but a contributing factor to some has been the high mounds of snow ...

Sam Wyke said Monday, after a couple inches already had blanketed the ground. “It’s pretty much constant.

When it’s coming down like this, by the time you get to the end of block, it’s time turn around and plow again.”

In addition to Midland Avenue, which slides down into the village from the north, Rockdale also has

which ultimately can partially block drivers’ views at intersections,” Rohder said.

“We have had several slip and fall accidents that have occurred as people try to maneuver through the snow and ice.”

Snow removal has been a similar challenge this year at Louis Joliet Mall, which uses both in-house crews and contractors to clear the ocean of blacktop surrounding the retail center, general manager Kate Knuth said.

“When the weather comes in, it’s all hands on deck,” Knuth said. “Multiple snows a day or week can keep our crews busy 24/7. However, the majority of the snow removal is done overnight.”

Still, all of this snowfall has been a windfall for businesses that plow snow.

to contend with several steep side streets, including Wheeler Avenue, another well-traveled route since it offers access across Interstate 80.

“Midland is one of the first ones to get hit, but they’re all important,” Wyke said. “Howard Street runs right into the back of the school, so we have to make sure that gets done.”

The village uses three trucks for

“This is the most pushes we’ve had in 15 years,” said Brenda Zeiter, owner of Zeiter Landscaping Inc. of Minooka, which – like many landscapers – offers snow plowing services in the winter.

Zeiter does mostly commercial plowing, including some banks in Minooka and Channahon, several strip malls and some townhomes.

“Obviously, it helps a lot.”

But since the snow isn’t melting, the parking lots tend to shrink as the piles rise with each successive storm.

“We’ve had to take our Bobcat in and move piles to open grass areas because otherwise you are coming out further and further into the parking lot,” Zeiter said.

“Obviously, people need somewhere to park.”

plowing and keeps a fourth in reserve.

In a storm like Monday’s, two street department employees will plow throughout the day, with the other two likely to come on later, Wyke said.

For additional traction, the hill streets are seeded with a mixture of salt and sand or limestone screening, Wyke said.

JOLIET – Quick: What’s white, 7 feet tall and interferes with traffic in the lane?

No, it’s not Luc Longley.

It’s those mountainous stacks of snow that have accumulated on the end of driveways, in parking lots and along curbs as the winter of 2014 continues to slog on.

For homeowners, the arctic onslaught has made clearing driveways an increasingly difficult chore as they’re forced to throw or blow snow higher and higher after each successive snowfall.

“We have big piles at the end of the street,” said Dan Merriman of West Acres Road. “But in back it’s almost up to the top of the fence because there’s nowhere else to put it.”

Merriman and his two sons first shovel the driveway and walkway at his house, then at his parents’ house and then for an elderly neighbor.

After that he’ll usually help shovel out his workplace.

“When it’s real bad, we’ll start around 6 a.m.,” Merriman said. “I usually end up getting done around 10 a.m.”

And this has been a bad year by anyone’s reckoning.

A string of sub-freezing temperatures in February has prevented much melting of the snowpacks, although that could change as warmer weather with highs near 50 is projected to move into the area later this week.

While the winter of 2014 has been a nuisance for homeowners, it’s been a real challenge for businesses,

schools and other facilities with large parking lots to clear.

“We’ve had 62.2 inches of snow so far this year [as of Friday]; last year we had 20.7 inches all season,” said Rich Rivera, assistant director for facility services at Joliet Junior College. “The line is at 33 inches. If you’re having anything more than 33 inches, you’re having a big snow year.”

Rivera oversees clearing roads, sidewalks and parking lots at JJC’s four campuses with a squadron of plows and tractors. Work has to be finished by the time students and staff start arriving at 7:30 a.m.

The college maintains a zero pavement policy, meaning if snow falls, it’s plowed, Rivera said. “If it snows enough to cover the parking lines, we’re going to be coming out.”

Crews also will salt roads and walkways and continue to clear them throughout the day, if necessary, Rivera said. The school already has maxed out its seasonal supply of salt and is now cutting its reserves with sand to help stretch it out for future needs, he said.

Campus parking lots can only be plowed overnight when they’re clear of cars.

Snow is pushed either to the periphery of the lot, or along the islands that separate every three or four parking rows, Rivera said.

Negotiating these landlocked icebergs can be a daunting for both drivers and pedestrians, noted Kelly Rohder, the director of com-

Next this winter: Thunderstorms Freezing rain possible Wednesday, Thursday

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The winter that has had nearly everything could have thunderstorms by the end of the week.

Monday marked the return of blustery snowfall, and meteorologists predict freezing rain with a chance of thunderstorms this week.

Thunderstorms, which could come Thursday, would be another twist on a winter that brought more than 60 inches of snow to Joliet before Monday.

The National Weather Service predicted a total snow accumulation of three to seven inches for Monday in Will County, with temperatures steady in the upper 20s. Wind gusts were as high as 30 mph in the early afternoon.

The weather could become

more harrowing in the coming days.

Freezing rain Wednesday night followed by thunderstorms on Thursday is expected in Will County, according to the National Weather Service.

Thunderstorms could bring heavier snowfall ranging from one to two inches of snow per hour, said Jeremy Hylka, director of the Joliet Weather Center.

“You will have very intense snow and possibly what we call whiteout conditions,” he said.

Hylka said a little more than 60 inches of snow had fallen in Joliet this winter without yet adding the final snowfall count for Monday.

Because of the sudden blast of snow and storms Monday, the National Weather Service issued a winter storm warn-

ing for several northeastern counties – including Will and DuPage – with officials saying the snow fall would cause travel to become extremely difficult with visibility reduced to zero at times.

National Weather Service officials also warned in a hazardous weather outlook issued Monday that possible rain and snow melt this week could result in increased chances for flooding and ice jams on area rivers. They said people living along rivers and flood-prone areas should prepare for any possible river flooding in the coming weeks.

“That is a concern we have to look at,” Hylka said of the potential for flooding.

There will be a warming trend before the freezing rain and thunderstorms arrive.

Temperatures are expected to be as a high as 38 degrees

Will County weather forecast Tuesday: Mostly sunny in the morning followed by partly cloudy weather. High temperatures in the upper 30s. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph increasing to 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny in the morning followed by partly cloudy weather. High temperatures in the mid-30s. West winds 10 to 15 mph.

Wednesday night: Mostly cloudy. Rain or freezing rain likely and a slight chance of thunderstorms after midnight. Low temperatures in the upper 20s. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.

Thursday: Rain with chance of thunderstorms and freezing rain in the morning, followed by rain and a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

High temperatures in the mid-40s. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.

Friday: Mostly sunny weather in the morning then becoming partly cloudy. High temperatures in the mid-30s.

Source: National Weather Service Tuesday and nearly 36 degrees Wednesday.

National Weather Service officials said if the snowfall were to end Feb. 11, it would mark this season as the seventh snowiest winter for Chicago with a total accumulation of 62.1 inches of snow so far.

The snowiest season for

Chicago remains 89.7 inches for the 1978-79 winter season, according to the National Weather Service.

Despite temperatures reaching the upper 20s, 30s and even 40s at times, Hylka said they could go back to the 20s by the end of the week.

“It’s really the winter that’s never ending,” he said.

Snow removal takes major toll on Joliet

BY BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The arctic weather is having a chilling effect on city coffers.

Sub-contracted snow removal from culs-de-sac and emergency repair of frozen water services has cost about $235,000 so far this winter, according to a memo from City Manager James Hock.

The public works department uses contractors to remove snow from about 600 cul-de-sac streets in emergency situations. Such was the case when 6 inches of snow fell Feb. 1, and again Feb. 5, when another 5 inches came down.

While city crews can handle routine snow in the culsde-sac, heavier snowfall requires more time and other kinds of equipment to clear the roadway, at large Coun-

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Vehicles travel slowly on West Jefferson Street near North Broadway Street on Monday in Joliet as snow covers the roads. cilman Mike Turk said.

“Our trucks really can’t do an adequate job in the culsde-sac because of their size,” Turk said. “And when you’re getting 5, 6, 8 inches of snow, it really needs to be cleaned

up so garbage, ambulance and other vehicles can get through.”

Total cost for the sub-contracted snow removal been about $159,000, with services split among six contractors:

P.T. Ferro Construction Co., $47,156; J. Russ & Co., $35,042; Austin Tyler Construction, $30,380; Allied Landscaping, $12,420; Construction by Camco, $23,167 and Greg W. Dobczyk Excavating, $10,880.

In addition to the snow, the extended periods of sub-freezing temperatures have created more problems for the city.

The city has experienced more than 100 water main breaks so far this year, as well as numerous phone calls over the last two weeks from residents who have lost water service due to frozen pipes in their homes or frozen service lines in the street, according to Hock’s memo.

Due to the volume of breaks, contractors have been brought in to assist the public works department with repairs. Total cost for the work has been approximately $70,000, divided among Austin Tyler, $46,583, and P.T. Ferro, $26,899.

The city council is expected to approve the snow removal and frozen water repair bills when its meets Tuesday.

Cicero man set to be charged with murder in Romeoville shooting

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A Cicero man is set to be charged Tuesday with murder after the death of a 15-year-old girl he allegedly shot last week.

Erick M. Maya, 23, of the 5600 block of Central Park Avenue, is being held in the county jail on two counts of attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon, carrying a $5 million bond.

Briana Valle was pronounced dead at 12:03 a.m. Mon- Erick M. day at Loyola Maya Medical Center according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. According to sources, the 15-year-old girl was pronounced brain-dead Saturday but was kept on life support so her organs could be donated.

“We will be filing murder charges,” Will County State’s Attorney’s spokesman Charles B. Pelkie confirmed Monday, which was a court holiday.

Police said the 23-year-old suspect and 15-year-old victim had a previous dating relationship.

Court records show the relationship had turned bad at least by late last year.

On Dec. 12, Maya was reported to Romeoville police for making a “telephone threat”

Those wishing to make a donation to a fundraising campaign to assist the family of Briana Valle can do so at www.gofundme. com/6voqbc. against Briana. Four days later, her mother obtained an emergency order of protection against Maya, which was extended last month.

Maya was convicted in 2011 of aggravated domestic battery in Cook County, Pelkie said. Will County jail records indicate if Maya were to post the $500,000 cash, Immigration and Customs Enforcement services would be notified before he was released from custody.

About 7 a.m. Thursday, Valle and her 33-year-old mother, Alicia Guerrero, were getting into their car in the 300 block of Emery Avenue when Maya came up, shot Briana in the head and her mother in the neck, according to Police Chief Mark Turvey.

Guerrero also was taken to Loyola but was listed in good condition, police said.

The shooter ran west along 135th Street, and Maya was among the suspects questioned later that day after police searched the area.

Turvey said Sunday police found a handgun on the side of a house on Hickory Avenue – two blocks west of the crime scene – that is believed to be the murder weapon.

Three separate fires damaged residences Saturday in Joliet and Bolingbrook.

The first occurred about 3 p.m. when a man started his car inside the garage of a residence in the 1800 block of Raes Creek Drive in Bolingbrook.

“The vehicle started on fire which spread to the house and then to a vehicle outside,” Police Lt. Mike Rompa said.

No one was injured, but the house suffered “extensive” damage.

Rompa said police received calls of “explosions” from residents of nearby areas who heard the tires and airbags bursting on the vehicles.

About 6 p.m. a fire began in a third-floor condo unit in the 3100 block of Ingalls Avenue

woman fled with her children and called 911.

Firefighters helped residents evacuate the 12-unit building, but no one was hospitalized, Carey said.

The condo where the fire began suffered heavy fire and smoke damage, while the unit below had significant water damage.

About 8 p.m. residents of the 800 block of Wilcox Street in Joliet came home to find a large amount of smoke coming out of their doors and called 911. The blaze damaged their living room and spread smoke throughout the house, Carey said.

The family dog also perished.

“Investigators believe this fire started near computer equipment and appears to be electrical,” Carey said.

Lipinski renews call for more Metra runs

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, has renewed his call for more commuter trains on the Heritage Corridor line with Metra’s new executive director.

The Heritage Corridor Metra service has three round-trip trains that make stops in Joliet, Lockport, Lemont, Willow Springs, Summit and Union Station in Chicago. That number is small compared to other Metra lines, and Lipinski in the past has called for more routes for commuters.

On Monday, the congressman sent the message again along with a letter of congratulations to Don Orseno, who became Metra’s executive director on Jan. 31. Lipinski asked Orseno to address the issue, also asking him to address Heritage Corridor services with Canadian National Railway Company, the owner of the railway. CN has said the railroad needs infrastructure improvements before more trains can be added.

“Metra is going to have to

Romeoville station U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski said he has been having discussions with local officials for the past three years about how service can be improved along the line. One of those discussions involved adding a new Romeoville station at 135th Street and New Avenue. The station is in the planning phase, but could be done within the next 18 to 24 months.

Romeoville Mayor John Noak said residents in his town are traveling long distances to other Heritage Corridor stations or to other Metra lines. The new Romeoville station, Noak said, “would reduce traffic and give more parking to residents, one of the major issues.” push and put pressure on CN,” Lipinski said. “Metra has been unable to move on this in the past. I’m hopeful with more stability at the head, we can move forward and try to encourage CN to add more service.”

Orseno issued a statement saying that he shared the congressman’s goals for increasing performance on all railway lines.

“I look forward to working

with him on these very important Heritage Corridor issues,” Orseno said.

Lipinski said that ridership on the line has increased by 25 percent in the past 10 years.

But service has not changed enough to accommodate the higher traffic, and CN has been unwilling to cooperate to provide more train service.

CN spokesman Patrick Waldron said CN senior officials have regularly talked with Lipinski and Metra officials regarding the Heritage Corridor line. But infrastructure upgrades must be made before the line, also used by Amtrak and for freight, can accommodate more Metra trains, he said.

“The issue is in order to add more commuter service, capacity studies show infrastructure upgrades are needed,” Waldron said, adding that CN is more than willing to work with Metra to obtain grants to improve the infrastructure of the railway.

Lipinski said he understood the concerns with railway infrastructure, but he thinks CN can make room for another train without significant upgrades.

Man accused of driving into bus, 3 pedestrians

By BRIAN STANLEY

jbourque@shawmedia.com

Flooding: a regional problem The flooding this week would be the first event in what is shaping up to be a dangerous spring.

With that in mind, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, organized Feb. 12 the first regional meeting in the state addressing flood mitigation. About 70 local officials came to the event to discuss how the region can better prepare for extreme flooding.

“This past April, we had one of the most damaged areas in the state,” Rezin said. “We thought it made sense to look at the communities and see what we could do better.”

Last April the Morris and Grundy County area flooded so badly it caused Morris Hospital to close its doors for almost two weeks. The amount of rain caused the Illinois River and the area creeks to flood into city streets, filling some people’s homes with water and stranding many in their houses and cars.

Rezin said part of the problem can be blamed on commercial land development happening in areas north of Grundy County.

“Streams that were never a liability have become huge

liabilities in our communities because of the building that’s happening upstream,” Rezin said.

Rezin brought in experts from state agencies to outline possible flood management techniques for local municipal managers.

The consensus, she said, was that flooding will only get worse in the coming years, especially for areas such as Grundy County, which houses several major and minor waterways.

“When I’m out and about, that’s what people are talking about,” Rezin said. “With all of the snow we’ve gotten, if we get a quick thaw, what will it do?”

While it still is unclear just how bad the flooding will get, Rezin said she wants to form a regional coalition to proactively work on flood management.

“We feel that by taking a regional approach, it will help us in the long run. Not only to help mitigate flood damage, but also to apply for state or federal grants,” Rezin said.

Rezin said Ottawa has developed a successful flood management program, and can be looked to as a model for other municipalities.

The city joined the Illinois Association for Floodplain and Stormwater Management; participated in a rating program to get city residents flood insurance at the cheapest possible rates; and had one city official become certified as a floodplain manager.

Rezin said local municipalities cannot wait until the flooding starts again, and encourages them to follow Ottawa’s management plan.

The regional coalition is set to meet again in the coming 90 days to further develop a plan of action.

“We have and will continue to have flooding issues and damages unless we are proactive,” Rezin said.

bstanley@shawmedia.com MAYWOOD – A Rockdale man faces charges after a bus crash that injured three pedestrians last week.

Scott J. Stubler, 24, of the 1800 block of Moen Avenue, has been charged with aggravated driving under the influence of drugs, failing to reduce Scott J. speed to avoid Stubler an accident, improper lane usage, driving without insurance and failing to yield to pedestrians, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s office.

Stubler was arrested Saturday after being released from Loyola University Medical Center where he’d been since the crash.

“Stubler ... was under the

influence of heroin, codeine and morphine when the car struck a Pace vehicle,” a statement from the sheriff’s office said.

About 3:35 p.m. Thursday, Stubler was driving a red Nissan Sentra south on First Avenue in Maywood near the hospital when he crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a Pace minibus, sheriff’s police said. The Sentra then struck three pedestrians in the crosswalk – seriously injuring two of them, according to police.

Five disabled passengers on the Pace minibus were hospitalized as a precaution, while the bus driver declined medical treatment, according to reports.

Stubler is being held in the Cook County Jail on $50,000 bond. Will County records show he is wanted for failing to appear in court on drug possession and shoplifting charges from a 2012 arrest in Plainfield.

MORRIS – The Grundy County area is no stranger to flooding, but residents need not wait until spring to be reacquainted with rising rivers.

Those living along the Kankakee River could experience severe flooding this Thursday, Friday and Saturday as temperatures rise to mid-40 degrees and much of the area is doused with rain.

“We’re quite concerned about the Kankakee River this next week,” said Jim Lutz, director of the Grundy County Emergency Management Agency. “The ice is 12 inches thick so we’re really worried about ice jams and flooding.”

Ice jams occur when there is a rapid thaw, causing ice to break into pieces, move freely and jam together to create a dam. Behind the ice dam, water can pool up “at an incredibly fast rate,” causing rapid, dangerous floods, Lutz said.

David Beachler, meteorologist for the National Weather Service, said the expected rainfall and warm temperatures could likely cause ice jams in the Kankakee River.

“The ice is as bad as I’ve seen it,” Lutz said. “I don’t want to scare the residents, but this reminds me of the ice we had in 1984.”

Monday’s snowfall – which totaled roughly 7 inches – could add to the threat. Beachler said depending on how high temperatures get, the snow pack could melt and run off into surrounding waterways.

“It looks like we’re going to experience temperatures in the middle 40s by Thursday afternoon,” Beachler said. “The unfortunate part about that is the warmer air is going to help melt the snow pack at a much faster rate.”

Lutz said local emergency and weather management

agencies are closely monitoring the situation and hope to develop a plan of action by Tuesday or Wednesday. “[Residents] need to be prepared to move rapidly should something happen,” Lutz said.

“It’s a really dangerous situation.”

Water could rise 15 to 20 feet in as quick as 20 minutes, he said, and residents should be prepared to evacuate the area quickly.

“The problem comes when the roadways flood and sometimes, if you’re not ready to go right away, all exits end up blocked,” Lutz said. “We don’t want anyone to lose their life over this.”

NEWS BRIEFS

Third person dies in Naperville house fire NAPERVILLE – A third person has died after a house fire in Naperville two months ago.

The Daily Herald reported 21-year-old Allen Belaguas of Orland Park died Sunday at a hospice facility. He had been injured in a Dec. 19 house fire that killed a couple. Belaguas was working as a caregiver for 57-year-old Tom and 56-yearold Jan Lambert of Naperville.

Two others in the home suffered minor injuries.

Belaguas’ mother, Zeta Pierson, said her son had been working for the family for eight days when the fire happened.

Family members described him as a fun-loving, caring and adventurous person who loved music and photography.

Belaguas recently became a certified nursing assistant.

Election officials remind Illinoisans of deadline CHICAGO – Election officials say there’s still time to register to vote for the March 18 primary.

The deadline is Tuesday.

It’s the first time 17-year-old Illinoisans will be able to vote.

They must be 18 by the Nov. 4 general election to qualify.

Cook County Clerk David Orr said about 1,000, 17 year olds have registered to vote in Cook County alone.

Orr said registering to vote is a first step toward civic participation.

Voters will have a chance to vote for their party’s nomination for governor, among other statewide elected offices.

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn is seeking re-election. He faces a primary challenge from activist Tio Hardiman and four Republicans who are running including Treasurer Dan Rutherford, businessman Bruce Rauner and state Sens.

Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady.

Ill. governor candidates back new building plan

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – With the largest statewide public construction program in Illinois history nearing its end, all of the 2014 candidates for governor say the state should approve another one. But their ideas on what it should look like and how to pay for it vary.

Gov. Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat seeking re-election, signed the current capital construction program weeks after taking office in 2009. The sixyear, $31 billion statewide initiative was the first of its kind in about a decade, and Quinn’s office says it has been used to fix thousands of miles of roads, update transit systems and put thousands of people to work.

Quinn has said he expects the Legislature to consider a new plan this spring. He told The Associated Press his administration still is looking into how to fund it, but suggested the state could eliminate some corporate tax breaks – which he described as “loopholes” – to come up with some of the money. Lawmakers approved video gambling and tax hikes on liquor and other products to help pay for the current building program.

“I really feel this is important if we’re going to have a strong economy,” Quinn said of a new statewide plan.

All of the Republicans seeking the March GOP nomination – state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, businessman Bruce Rauner and state

Treasurer Dan Rutherford – said in response to an AP questionnaire that upgrading the state’s infrastructure is key to attracting and keeping business and residents in Illinois.

Dillard noted the state has a backlog of projects waiting to be completed.

“This is not good for economic development or the future of our infrastructure,” the Hinsdale lawmaker said.

The most recent analysis of the state’s needs by the American Society of Civil Engineers concluded nearly three-quarters of Illinois’ roads are in poor or mediocre condition and almost one-fifth of its bridges are either “structurally deficient” or “functionally obsolete.” In the Illinois State Board of Education’s most re-

cent survey, school districts reported more than $7 billion in capital needs.

Dillard, who voted for the 2009 plan, said any new capital program should be paid for through a mix of bonds and “pay-as-you-go.” He said he would consider a combination of options for funding, including user fees and private investment.

Earlier this year, Dillard also proposed cutting the state’s five percent sales tax on gas and using the remaining sales tax revenue as backing for up to $1 billion in bonds to fix bridges and roads. That option would reduce revenue in the state’s general fund budget by about $450 million – money Dillard said would be made up by growing the economy.

Illinois Senate leader warns of $3B budget hole

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Senate President John Cullerton warned Monday of a nearly $3 billion state budget gap – including a $1.6 billion revenue dip with the expiring income tax increase – and called on Republicans running for Illinois governor to offer solutions.

Cullerton said he held a budget briefing Monday because many Republicans objected to Gov. Pat Quinn delaying his budget address by more than a month, from Feb. 19 to March 26. GOP lawmakers called it a political move because the speech now falls after the March 18 primary and Quinn

is seeking re-election. Quinn has said he needed more time for long-range planning.

Cullerton said he scheduled the news conference without Quinn’s urging and previewed details expected at a hearing Wednesday in Springfield. Cullerton said slashing $3 billion would translate into roughly 27 percent across-the-board cuts. In education that could mean thousands of teacher layoffs. He said savings from Illinois’ new pension overhaul – which faces legal challenges – wouldn’t factor into the budget and he predicted difficult choices ahead.

The Senate president didn’t offer his own ideas, aside from saying everything is on the ta-

ble. That includes extending an income tax increase that expires in January 2015. He said Republican gubernatorial candidates – particularly state Sens. Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady – should be more active in budgeting, especially since the plan lawmakers have to approve by the end of May extends into 2015. The other GOP candidates are Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford and businessman Bruce Rauner.

“This isn’t a budget just for Pat Quinn. ... It’s not theoretical,” Cullerton said. “[Some GOP candidates] are in the Senate. They’re campaigning. ... We need to have, as part of that debate, what’s their solution for this $3 billion hole?”

Republican candidates said Quinn has to offer solutions first.

“Quinn’s the governor.

I’m not,” Dillard said. “Delaying the budget is something a rookie governor does – not after five years. He did so for political purposes to see who his opponent would be and give the public half of the time it would have to review [the budget].”

Brady said Quinn’s delaying the address doesn’t send a message of confidence to businesses. Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf said the budget briefing with another top Democrat asking for bipartisan help was an indicator of Quinn’s failed leadership.

Illinois DCFS head pleads guilty to stealing from clients The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – The new director of Illinois’ child-welfare agency pleaded guilty to stealing money from clients of a Chicago social-service agency 20 years ago, according to a published report.

The Chicago Sun-Times

and WBEZ Radio reported Monday that Arthur Bishop faced a felony theft charge in 1995 when the Department of Family and Child Services hired him as a caseworker.

He was accused of stealing more than $9,000 from clients of the Bobby W. Wright Comprehensive Community

Mental Health Center who thought Bishop was helping them get their driver’s licenses back after drunken driving convictions.

DCFS officials said the department wouldn’t have been allowed to consider the pending theft charge against Bishop when he was hired.

Later that year, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.

The 61-year-old Bishop was at DCFS until 2010, when he took over the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice. Gov. Pat Quinn sent him to the DCFS helm last month.

NATION&WORLD Boomers are early winners under health law

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – For many older Americans who lost jobs during the recession, the quest for health care has been one obstacle after another. They’re unwanted by employers, rejected by insurers, struggling to cover rising medical costs and praying to reach Medicare age before a health crisis.

These luckless people, most in their 50s and 60s, have emerged this month as early winners under the nation’s new health insurance system.

Along with their peers who are self-employed or whose jobs do not offer insurance, they have been signing up for coverage in large numbers, submitting new-patient forms at doctor’s offices and filling prescriptions at pharmacies.

“I just cried I was so re-

lieved,” said Maureen Grey, a 58-year-old Chicagoan who finally saw a doctor this month after a fall in September left her in constant pain. Laid off twice from full-time jobs in the past five years, she saw her income drop from $60,000 to $17,800 a year. Now doing temp work, she was uninsured for 18 months before she chose a marketplace plan for $68 a month.

Americans ages 55 to 64 make up 31 percent of new enrollees in the new health insurance marketplaces, the largest segment by age group, according to the federal government’s latest figures. They represent a glimmer of success for President Barack Obama’s beleaguered law.

The Great Recession hit them hard and for some its impact has lingered.

Aging boomers are more

Maureen Grey poses for a photo Feb. 3 in Chicago. For many older Americans who lost jobs during the recession, the quest for health care has been one obstacle after another. Grey, a 58-year-old Chicagoan, finally saw a doctor this month after a fall in September left her in constant pain. likely to be in debt as they enter retirement than were previous generations, with many having bought more expensive homes with smaller down payments, said economist Olivia Mitchell

of University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. One in five has unpaid medical bills and 17 percent are underwater with their home values. Fourteen percent are uninsured.

As of December, 46 percent of older jobseekers were among the long-term unemployed compared with less than 25 percent before the recession.

And those financial setbacks happened just as their health care needs became more acute. Americans in their mid-50s to mid-60s are more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than other age groups, younger or older, accounting for 3 in 10 of the adult diabetes diagnoses in the United States each year. And every year after age 50, the rate of cancer diagnosis climbs.

The abundance of older patients signing up is no surprise to the Obama administration, which conducted internal research last year that showed the “sick, active and worried” would be the most responsive to messages urging them to seek coverage.

Huge hurdles in path of final Iran nuclear deal

By GEORGE JAHN The Associated Press VIENNA – It took months of arduous bargaining before Iran and six world powers could agree on a first-step nuclear deal. But the two sides may find the going even tougher Tuesday, when they start to confront hurdles standing in the path of a final accord.

Tehran denies Western accusations that it wants – or worked on – nuclear arms. But on Nov. 24 it agreed to initial curbs on uranium enrichment – which can serve at different levels as the core of nuclear arms or reactor fuel – in exchange for some easing of the sanctions choking its economy.

In effect for six months, the deal is meant to lead to a final accord that minimizes any potential Iranian nuclear weapons threat in return for a full lifting of sanctions. But as the sides begin haggling over the final pact in Vienna, Gary Samore, who helped the U.S.

negotiate with Iran until last year, describes the interim deal as “simply a truce,” with the hard work still ahead.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, is even more pessimistic. Accusing the Americans of approaching the talks in bad faith, he urged Iranian envoys on Monday to do their best but said the negotiations “will lead nowhere.”

A look at some obstacles:

HOW MANY CENTRIFUGES? The interim accord says a final deal would leave Iran with an “enrichment program with practical limits and transparency measures” to ensure its peaceful nature. That means haggling over the number of centrifuges, the machines that enrich uranium to high-tech applications that can range from reactor fuel to use in nuclear bombs.

Samore, the former White House arms control coordinator who is now with Harvard’s Belfer Center think tank, said

the Iranians will insist on keeping all of the 20,000 centrifuges set up at their enrichment sites.

Of those, 10,000 are running and Tehran will push to keep as many of those operating as possible. But the United States fears that having 20,000 centrifuges on site – even with most of them idle – would give Iran the capacity to produce enough weapons-grade enriched uranium within a few months.

Washington and its allies want only a few thousand of the machines standing. They calculate that would give them a more than a one-year window, if Iran turned on all its centrifuges and started working on weapons-grade uranium from the start to the time it had enough for one weapon.

Centrifuge types also will be in dispute. The Iranians want to upgrade with advanced machines that work up to four times faster than older centrifuges now doing most of the enriching.

Samore said bargaining

over enrichment will be the most difficult issue and expects little tangible progress until the end of this year – if at all.

FORDO AND ARAK The U.S. and its allies see the underground enriching facility at Fordo as a particular problem because it is heavily fortified against aerial attacks.

Samore said the six powers want Fordo shut down. But because Tehran is opposed to tearing down any of its atomic infrastructure as a matter of national pride, a possible compromise would be to “repurpose” Fordo while keeping it a nuclear facility, perhaps as a storage area for equipment or material.

The reactor under construction at Arak is a concern because it is a heavy-water facility that would produce substantial amounts of plutonium that also can be used as the fissile core of a missile. Converting the reactor to a light-water installation or cutting back on its output would ease concerns.

Samore agrees with Iranian officials that construction is too far advanced to re-engineer the reactor, saying it would make more sense to take a wrecking ball to it and finance the building of a new, light-water reactor. But because of Iran’s insistence that its nuclear facilities be kept intact, he suggests that the six may offer to reconfigure it anyway “to give the Iranians some face-saving.”

BACK TO SQUARE ONE? The interim agreement says that as a member of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran will at some point be treated as any other non-nuclear weapons NPT member state, if it honors commitments it takes on under a final agreement.

But the big question is when? And what happens then?

The U.S. and its allies will likely seek to extend the agreement for up to 25 years for maximum assurance that Iran has forsworn any potential nuclear weapons ambitions.

Ethiopian co-pilot hijacks plane headed to Geneva

By GEIR MOULSON and JOHN HEILPRIN The Associated Press GENEVA – It seemed like a routine overnight flight until the Ethiopian Airlines jetliner went into a dive and oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling. Only then did the terrified passengers – bound for Italy from Addis Ababa – realize something was terribly wrong.

The co-pilot had locked his captain from the cockpit, commandeered the plane, and headed for Geneva, where he used a rope to lower himself out of a window, then asked for political asylum.

Authorities say a prison cell is more likely.

One passenger said the hijacker threatened to crash the plane if the pilot didn’t stop

pounding on the locked door.

Another said he was terrified “for hours” Monday as the plane careened across the sky.

“It seemed like it was falling from the sky,” 45-year-old Italian Diego Carpelli said of the Boeing 767-300.

The jetliner carrying 200 passengers and crew took off from the Ethiopian capital on a flight to Milan and then Rome, but sent a distress message over Sudan that it had been hijacked, an Ethiopian official said. Once the plane was over Europe, two Italian fighter jets and later French jets were scrambled to accompany it.

Italian Air Force Col. Girolamo Iadiciccio said the order to scramble came from NATO to ensure the plane didn’t harm national security and didn’t stray off-route.

WASHINGTON – Hoyt Sparks says he has no use for liberal Democrats and their “socialistic, Marxist, communist” ways.

Toni Lewis suspects tea party Republicans are “a bunch of people who probably need some mental health treatment.”

Politically speaking, the tea-party supporter in rural North Carolina and the Massachusetts liberal live a world apart.

Who or what could get them thinking the same?

Edward Snowden and the National Security Agency.

By exposing the NSA’s vast surveillance web, Snowden created a link between tea partyers and liberals – two tribes camped on opposite sides of the nation’s political chasm.

These people to the right and left of mainstream America sound a lot alike now.

Sparks, a federal retiree in the Blue Ridge mountain

town of Sparta and a political independent, condemns the NSA programs as “a breach of privacy which violates the Constitution.”

Lifetime Democrat Lewis, a social worker in the city of Brockton, near Boston, said, “When we’re violating the rights of U.S. citizens, I think that’s a dangerous line to be walking.”

Whether they are Republicans, Democrats or independents, almost half of Americans say they support the tea party movement or call themselves liberal.

Compared with their more moderate Republican or Democratic peers, tea partyers and liberals are significantly more likely to oppose the collection of millions of ordinary citizens’ telephone and Internet data, an Associated PressGfK poll shows.

By a 2-to-1 margin, these two groups say the government should put protecting citizens’ rights and freedoms ahead of protecting them from terrorists.

OUR VIEW

Deserving of a warm thanks This winter has been cold. Really cold.

Tongue-sticking-tothe-flagpole cold.

Many of us are willing to brave it for only the few seconds it takes to run from our cars to work or the store. Then we run – or at least speed walk – back.

It’s rarely fun to go outside in the bitter cold, unless you’re dressed like you’re preparing to explore Antarctica and you have some really cool toy outside that you can’t wait to use.

There are people, however, whose jobs depend on braving the cold and winter weather conditions.

We are writing to show our appreciation.

Some, such as firefighters, law enforcement and EMTs/ emergency personnel, brave the elements for our protection. When others are running away, they rush in.

For that, and all the frozen fingers that have come with it, we thank them.

Some, such as those who drive the snowplows, come out when things get really bad.

They clear and salt and sand our roads so we can get where we need to go.

They certainly get paid, but it’s a pretty selfless job working overnight to plow and clear the roads so they’re drivable the next day.

And, more often than not, the thanks we give them is either tailgating them down the road or complaining that they didn’t clear the road we live on soon enough.

For enduring that, and being the nameless and faceless reason that most of us have been able to arrive safely at our destinations this winter, we thank them, too.

While we’re at it, thanking a nameless and faceless group that works overnight to provide a service, we’ll thank the newspaper delivery teams.

They’re on the roads many times when the roads are the worst, trying to keep you informed despite the conditions.

The same goes for the mail carriers and the heating and HVAC specialists or construction workers who are there when you need them.

Working as the snow piles up and temperatures dip is rarely fun, but there are many in the community who swallow their apprehension and do it on a regular basis to ensure that our community runs smoothly.

For them, and all those who we missed in our assuredly incomplete list, we thank you.

And we hope the community, when they see you, give you thanks, too.

Rutherford should release information Treasurer Dan Rutherford delivered a forceful, even believable defense of himself last week during a suburban news conference hours after he was hit with a federal lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and coerced campaign work.

Rutherford made a strong case that at least some of the accusations are untrue.

There were some holes in his argument, some bigger than others, but it seems obvious that some of the charges are overblown.

For instance, the accuser Ed Michalowski claims in his lawsuit that all the campaign and sexual pressure from Rutherford directly resulted in “leakage of cerebral spinal fluid in the brain,” which seems more than a bit of a stretch. Michalowski also takes a joking text message between himself and Rutherford’s campaign manager completely out of context. And Rutherford laid out Michalowski’s numerous financial trou-

VIEWS Rich Miller bles in an attempt to demonstrate that the plaintiff’s need for money was driving much of the lawsuit.

That being said, I’ve had some real worries about Rutherford’s so-called “independent” internal investigation of these allegations. Rutherford announced the investigation weeks ago when he let the media know about the potential lawsuit.

Rutherford’s top people have been saying for weeks that they fully expected the investigation would clear their guy. So, I was naturally concerned that this would be a whitewash. I mean, why were they so confident they’d be vindicated if people were literally lining up to spill their guts about what they knew?

I’ve also been concerned that Rutherford would use the so-called “independent” investigation to find out what people in his office were saying about him to help with his lawsuit, so I personally didn’t think it was all that wise to cooperate with the probe.

But the investigator, who was given a $250 an hour state contract, convinced several members of Rutherford’s staff that he was on the up and up and would go wherever the facts led him.

The investigator then interviewed several people, starting with some treasurer’s office employees who allowed Michalowski to use their names as either witnesses or corroborators.

The first person to be interviewed brought a recording device and recorded his interview. He reportedly laid out all the goods he had on Rutherford, and it wasn’t pretty.

See MILLER, page 17

THE FIRST AMENDMENT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Rutherford’s attorney will not release information during investigation Continued from page 16 The interviewer was apparently caught off guard by that move, and when the second person entered the room, he was reportedly denied permission to record the conversation.

Other employees then reportedly demanded during their interviews that they be allowed to record the proceedings. They were told, insiders say, that their interviews would be recorded and that the employees would each be given a copy of those

recordings.

Well, the employees are still waiting for their recordings, leading them to worry that whatever they said could be twisted out of context or eliminated entirely from the record.

The investigator also invited the entire office to come in and talk, leading one of the employees with complaints to grumble that those interviews could delay and/or dilute the findings, allowing the investigators to claim that the complaints center around a small handful of “disgruntled employees.”

Needless to say, Rutherford was in enough trouble without trying to get cute with this internal investigation.

And then he dropped a bomb.

Rutherford’s attorney announced last week that he would not allow the release of information gleaned from that internal investigation.

The attorney explained that the office shouldn’t be releasing information while a federal lawsuit is underway, The explanation has a little merit. It’s not wise for a defendant in a federal civil suit to be releasing details

of an internal investigation.

But Rutherford was not yet legally prohibited from doing so, and he and his staff promised over and over for weeks that the results would be released no matter what.

Despite all his protestations to the contrary, the treasurer will undoubtedly wind up using all those employee interviews to glean information for his legal team about what the other side knows and where the potential mine fields are.

That’s just not acceptable.

For one thing, this $250 an hour probe was paid for with tax dollars. The info should

be released to the public, who funded it.

And if he continues to refuse to release this information, despite all his promises, what does that say about the sort of governor Rutherford would be?

This smacks of a cover-up.

If the treasurer wants to retain a shred of credibility moving forward, he ought to overrule his attorney and release the information, come what may.

Insurance mandate delay just more political maneuvering Companies with 50 to 99 employees that have been sweating out compliance with the insurance mandate component of Obamacare this week received a reprieve. The deadline was pushed back another year.

President Obama might want businesses to think that the postponement was in response to their concerns about the coverage requirement. But it likely far more Machiavellian than that.

If small businesses this fall were to be deep in the throes

of trying to bring their companies into compliance with the insurance mandate, well, that would be excellent timing for Republican candidates in the 2014 election. Members of the GOP already are planning to make the problems with Obamacare the centerpiece of their campaigns with charges that the law is a “job killer.”

Those words would have a lot more bite in a commercial showing a worker saying, “I lost my job thanks to Obamacare.”

But now, those tough de-

cisions have been pushed off, conveniently, until after the midterm elections. The coverage requirement deadline is now Jan. 1, 2016.

Not only does the reasoning behind the extension seem a bit duplicitous, it technically isn’t legal. The new rules announced Monday by Treasury Department run afoul of an act of Congress. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act decrees the mandate provisions apply after Dec. 31, 2013. Though the Treasury Department claims it has the

authority to extend the implementation timeline, Republicans renewed their complaint that the administration can’t just tweak an act of Congress in this way. Federal courts routinely uphold explicit deadlines set by Congress in other matters. This one seems to get special treatment.

All of this makes it hard to ascertain whether Obamacare really has the potential to succeed. So far it has been dogged by a wretched roll-out, delays and rule changes. At what point will we get to the action

so we can see what changes need to be made?

The Obama administration’s stalling tactic on implementation just pushes off what is sure to be a big headache for business. That officials did so to curtail the anticipated shellacking Obamacare will receive in election ads is even more troubling. If Obamacare is to stand as law, it’s time we get a sense of what it will really mean for American workers and businesses.

Lockport wrestlers hope to win titles this weekend in Champaign

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Tuesday, February 18, 2014

Brian Rossi and Tyler Johnson have done just about all that they could to help prepare themselves for the biggest weekend of the wrestling season.

The two Lockport athletes head into this week’s IHSA finals at the State Farm Center in Champaign as the favorites to capture championships st the Class 3A level. They’ll be joined at state by teammates Vince Dietz, Shayne Oster, Dan Radcliffe and Trevell Timmons.

But Johnson and Rossi have watched the competition enough to know that being the top seed at their weights means little when the bracket board is handed to the champ.

Rossi carries a 44-1 mark to state where he’ll compete for the 113 title. His lone loss was 4-2 in overtime to Libertyville’s Steve Polakowski in the Dvorak Invite finals at 120.

The Stanford-bound senior, who has won 152 matches in his career, has experienced the highs and lows at the past two state finals, when he’s claimed third-place finishes.

Each time he nearly reached the title match, only to drop close semifinal decisions. Last year he lost 6-4 in overtime to the eventual champ at 113, Thornton’s Kris Williams, and in 2012, he fell 5-4 at 106 to Oak Park and River Forest’s Matthew Rundell.

Rossi, who’s ranked ninth nationally by Intermat, faces Marmion Academy’s Anthony Bosco, ranked 15th, in his opening-round match on Thursday. The two met in the finals of the Cheesehead Invite with Rossi winning 4-3 on an overtime tiebreaker.

Two other nationally-ranked competitors are on the opposite side of the bracket, Brother Rice’s Rudy Yates (No. 6) and Plainfield South’s Miguel Silva (No. 20), who met

Rossi, Johnson the ones to beat

Clark Brooks for Shaw Media

Lockport’s Brian Rossi (right) wrestles Saturday with Oswego’s Andrew McFall in his 113-pound sectional title match at the Normal West Sectional. Rossi won the bout, 3-0. Both wrestlers advance to this weekend’s IHSA state tournament in Champaign at the State Farm Center. in last year’s 106 finals. Prairie Ridge’s Travis Piotrowski, Marist’s Nick Lukanich and St. Rita’s Jake Silzer are other title contenders.

Rossi edged Silva 3-2 in an overtime tiebreaker in the regional finals. Bosco lost to Yates in overtime for third place in the sectional after Silzer edged Bosco and Lukanich nipped Yates.

“We like to have the mindset that we trust our program and our coaches to prepare us so that when we step out onto the mat under the bright lights that it just seems like just another match in the room,” Rossi said.

“Having six state qualifiers is a testament to our program and to how well our coaches prepare us. All of my thanks go to them for getting us ready for these big tournaments.”

Johnson, who is ranked 11th nationally at 195, has been dominant throughout the season and has recorded victories in all 48 of his matches.

Although he went 0-1 in his first state trip last year, the junior watched his brother Brad place three times from 2010-12, winning titles at 189 as a junior and at 195 as a senior.

A few of Johnson’s closest calls came at the Dvorak, including a 3-1 win over Crystal Lake South’s Brian Pence.

OPRF’s Andre Lee, who’s ranked 20th nationally, and Lake Forest’s Regis Durbin are also in the mix.

“You always know that anything can happen at the state tournament since there’s been huge upsets there,” Johnson said.

“So you have to just try to stay in good position and hope for the best. Hopefully I can keep this going.”

Coach Josh Oster’s Porters are not only hoping to add to their program’s collection

of six champions and seven titles but also would like to surpass the total of four placewinners that they had in both 2011 and 2012.

Oster (126), Radcliffe (132) and Dietz (160) all will be making their second state trips and are looking for their first all-state honors while Timmons (138) hopes to join Jameson Oster as just the second Porter to place as a freshman.

Dietz has a 44-6 record, Oster has gone 39-6 this season, Radcliffe brings a 37-8 mark to Champaign and Timmons has gone 36-9 in his initial campaign.

A Joliet-area flavor at Cherry Bowl Joliet West joins some old friends at IHSA Girls’ State Tournament

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com Joliet West trailed Morris for the final state qualifying spot in last Saturday’s girls bowling sectional at Moline.

“I got the girls together and told them, ‘We’re still in it, keep fighting,’ ” Tigers coach Jeff Bailey said. “To be honest, I wasn’t sure exactly how far we were behind Morris.

“We started out flat the last game. But we really picked each other up halfway through the game, and we finished with a push.”

Bailey’s daughter Taylor, West’s leadoff bowler, was a key. The sophomore, who was 12th in the state as an individual qualifier last season, finished with a 233 game for a 1,307 total over six games.

The Tigers shot 5,821 to overtake Morris, which ended fifth at 5,780.

“Taylor pulled it together the last game,” Jeff Bailey said. “She set it all in motion.”

This will mark West’s first trip to state as a team since the return of separate programs at the two Joliet Township schools. The state tournament begins Friday and concludes Saturday at Cherry Bowl in Rockford.

West senior Julie Kowalski, the regional champion, went to state two years ago as a sophomore and finished fourth.

“Last year I said this is fun when I went to state, but next year we’re going as a team, and here we are,” Taylor Bailey said. “There are nerves, but Julie and I will help our teammates overcome it.

There’s a lot of pressure to do well, but there shouldn’t be because we have proven we belong.”

Minooka advanced at Moline as well, shooting 6,020 to claim second place behind sectional champion Waubonsie Valley. Morris was not shut out as Jessica Winter advanced after shooting 1,240.

As usual, there will be a

Joliet-area flavor at state.

Lockport and Lemont finished 1-2 in the Morgan Park Sectional to advance along with Lincoln-Way Central’s Jamie Sexauer, who qualified with a 1,236.

Lincoln-Way West suffered a fate similar to Morris as the Warriors missed the final qualifying spot by 59 pins.

“We’re very familiar with teams like Minooka and Lockport,” Jeff Bailey said.

“They’re good, but I have all the confidence in the world that my girls will be able to give them and teams like them a scare at state. They know they can’t take us lightly.”

“It’s nice to have teams like Minooka and Lockport there with us,” Taylor Bailey said. “We support each other. We’re proud of each other

Area Qualifiers TEAMS: Joliet West, Lemont, Lockport, Minooka INDIVIDUALS: Jessica Winter, Morris; Jamie Exauer, Lincoln-Way Central and we’re friends no matter what happens.”

Minooka and Lockport are programs accustomed to the state stage, and Lemont is led by junior Kyra Uziela, a regional and sectional champion.

Minooka is at state for the eighth time in 10 years under coach Frank Yudzentis, including fifth straight. The Indians finished second two years ago, a mere 21 pins off the pace.

“We’ve continued to improve the last few weeks,” Yudzentis said. “We bypassed a couple teams in the afternoon at the sectional.

We’re not where we want to

be yet, but we’re continuing to get better, and that’s a good sign.”

So is the Indians’ score distribution.

“We’re really bowling well as a team the last few weeks,” Yudzentis said. “We’re not relying on one big score.

Someone different is stepping up each week.”

Kayly Windbiel stepped up at the sectional as she led Minooka with a 1,276. Emily Koulis followed at 1,260 and Kortney Sickler chipped in with 1,238.

“She bowled as well as she has all year; the way she can bowl,” Yudzentis said of Windbiel. “That will help her

confidence. We hadn’t seen her bowl like that in over a year.”

Lockport won state championships in 1994, 1999 and 2009 and finished fourth a year ago. Nicole Troha and Ashley Hostert were in the regular lineup last season, “and the others were all there at state,” coach Art Cwudzinski noted, “so they know what the atmosphere is like.”

Before winning the Morgan Park Sectional, the Porters won the Sandburg Regional.

“We are performing well,” Cwudzinski said. “We have someone different step up and lead us each time out. It depends what day it is. It’s unusual not to know who will be on on a given day. If we get all five going, we could really raise the roof [at state].”

“Being a senior, with it most likely being my last game, I wanted to do something, try to keep the intensity up so that everybody up,” Fisher said.

“The first thing I did was get a rebound and a outback. I was just going in there, doing the board, just like coach said.

That one 3-pointer was kinda lucky. I didn’t think it was going in.”

The more balanced Warriors were led by Matthews and Dani Morgan with 14 points each and O’Donnell with 10 points and nine rebounds. Now 15-11, LWW will play top-seeded Joliet Catholic Academy at 6 p.m. today in a regional semifinal.

MORRIS – The Morris girls basketball team led for more than three full quarters Monday, but Lincoln-Way West rallied to win 56-53 at the Class 3A Morris Regional.

Morris’ Alex Kjellesvik 3-pointer began the fourth quarter for Morris, but the Warriors scored 14 of the next 18 points to draw even at 49 for the first time since it was scoreless with 2:36 to play. After two free throws from Katie Friend temporarily restored the lead to Morris, Courtney O’Donnell made a short basket on the other end for Lincoln-Way West.

The Warriors then took their first lead on a Kaitlyn Matthews 3-pointer with 1:33 to play. Thirty-two seconds later, a technical foul was Friend’s fifth personal of the game. Although Lincoln-Way West missed the ensuring free throws, Matthews did not miss either when Morris was forced

to foul her seconds later, and after a Julie Jurasits basket got Morris within three, it missed on a pair of late 3-pointers.

“I thought they did a great job, fighting and scrapping,” LWW coach Ryan White said.

“I’m not a big fan of the chasing from behind. I wish we could have come out a little bit better so that we didn’t have to do that, but I was proud of the effort.”

Foul trouble was the theme of the game and particularly of the first half, as by halftime, the teams had combined for 25 fouls and attempted 27 free throws.

Jurasits had two fouls by late in the first quarter, but coach Kate Carey sent her back out to begin the second, and the move paid off. Jurasits scored eight points during the second quarter, and Jade Fisher and Katie Friend hit 3s as Morris (9-16) led by as many as 14 points late in the half.

Jurasits finished with 20 points and 18 rebounds to lead

Belarus has big day at Sochi

By DAVID PACE

Medals table

The Associated Press SOCHI, Russia – It was Belarus day Monday at the Sochi Olympics.

A Belarussian woman made Olympic history by becoming the first female ever to win three biathlon titles at the same games, and one of her teammates captured the men’s freestyle skiing aerials competition to complete a gold-medal sweep on the event.

Anton Kushnir nailed a near-perfect landing after a “back double full-full-double full” jump – five twists packed into three head-over-heels flips while soaring 50 feet off the ramp and into the night sky.

“It was the best jump I’ve ever witnessed in person,” said 18-year-old American Mac Bohonnon, who finished fifth.

Darya Domracheva won her third biathlon title when she left a field of elite racers far behind to capture gold in the 12.5-kilometer mass start. As she neared the finish line, she waved her right pole above her head in celebration.

“Maybe it’s strange, but I don’t feel like I’ve done something special,” Domracheva said. “I just tried to enjoy myself and I did my race with a laugh. But for sure, it’s amazing.”

The race was in doubt earlier as dense fog forced postponement of the men’s mass start race and the men’s snow-

Not your typical pneumonia After bacteria found at gym, doctors keep an eye out for Legionnaire’s disease

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent Most people don’t expect to leave a health club with a dangerous bacteria inflaming and filling their lungs with fluid and pus. But last November, that very thing presumably happened to two men in a Naperville club.

“This is a bacteria with a high mortality,” said Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center epidemiologist Dr. Ahmed Quraishi. “The regular antibiotics that are used for pneumonia don’t work on this.”

Reports further said that Legionella bacteria was found growing in a hot tub at LA Fitness after the men, who had been in the tub, contracted Legionnaire’s disease. The DuPage County Health Department investigated and the hot tub closed for an intensive disinfection.

This is prime season for Legionnaire’s disease, Quraishi said, which is caused by breathing in a mist of the bacteria from improperly cleaned humidifiers, hot tubs, heating systems, drinking water systems, fountains, cooling towers and even shower heads.

Quraishi said the disease’s name derives from a 1976 American Legion convention in Philadelphia where 221 participants developed a puzzling pneumonia. Medical detective work discovered the bacteria in the air conditioning system. By the epidemic’s end, 34 people had died.

Today, according to healthmap.org, about 18,000 hospital admissions a year are related to Legionnaire’s disease.

Many cases, however, go unreported, possibly because of

its similarity with the flu and other types of pneumonia.

According to Quraishi, early diagnosis and Dr. Ahmed treatment will Quraishi reduce mortality of the disease to less than one percent.

The Legionella pneumophilia bacteria, he said, grows best in warm, stagnant water.

When it becomes aerosolized and inhaled, it can grow in the lungs and cause pneumonia.

The disease is not passed from person to person.

“This bacteria is natural to the water environment,” Quraishi said. “It is an old bacterium. It’s always been here.”

Quraishi said it’s even been cultured in rain puddles in cities, where it may be splashed into the air by tires and then inhaled. Some geographical areas, such as Pennsylvania, contain more bacteria in the natural environment due to local soil conditions, he added.

“People really need to know how to maintain their water systems,” Quraishi said. “It’s important to remove that slime that can build up. The pH must be acidic for the disinfectant to work, as well, and the chlorine concentration must be maintained.”

One reason Legionella bacteria is difficult to kill once it grows in a water system, Quraishi said, is that it becomes embedded in an organic slime, a biofilm. Sometimes it also grows inside amoebas.

Disinfectants cannot penetrate biofilms or the amoebas very well, he added.

People infected with the bacteria aren’t always aware

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Lab assistant Elizabeth Oplustil is seen Thursday streaking a petri dish to prepare a specimen from a patient at the laboratory at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet.

Symptoms of Legionnaire’s disease Early flu-like symptoms: • Slight fever • Headache • Aching joints and muscles • Lack of energy, tiredness • Loss of appetite Later symptoms: • High fever (102-105 degrees) • Cough, dry at first, then later producing phlegm • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath • Chills • Chest pain

Source: www.osha.gov

of it, Quraishi said. The elderly, smokers and those with diabetes, asthma and other lung diseases, are more likely to contract a severe infection.

“The symptoms are flu-like at the beginning,” Quraishi said, “with fever, aches and difficulty breathing. It looks like pneumonia, and chest X-rays will look like pneumonia, but they have to be treated with the correct antibiotic.”

The disease takes 2 to 10

days to cause symptoms, which are mild at first, but may then progress to very high fevers, chest pain, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, chills and a phlegm-producing cough.

A diagnosis is made from sputum samples sent to an approved lab or a urinalysis that looks for the presence of an antigen specific to Legionella.

People wishing to reduce their home risk should follow these recommendations from

the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Pipes used for water in home sinks, showers and drinking fountains, should not have “dead legs,” altered sections of plumbing that allow water to stagnate. Rubber and silicone gaskets provide nutrients for the bacteria, so removing them will help control growth of the offending organism. Frequent flushing of these lines may also reduce growth.

Hot water in homes should be kept at 140 degrees Fahrenheit and delivered at a minimum of 122 degrees Fahrenheit to all outlets. Periodically drain the hot-water tank to remove scale and sediment and clean with chlorine solution whenever possible. Remember to thoroughly rinse the tank before re-use to remove excess chlorine.

OSHA also recommends using contaminant-free water in HVAC system humidifiers.

Small, free-standing humidifiers should be steam or atomizing units rather than units using re-circulated water.

One last visit to the counting table

• Tuesday, February 18, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Kevin Barry, an Irish author, said, “When you wake up, instead of checking emails on your phone, or counting your retweets, pick up a pen and scratch a few sentences into a notebook.”

Or sit at a computer keyboard and type a few articles into a word processor.

Over the last seven columns, I have been stressing counting, primarily by the defenders. Here is one more example, by way of revision because someone once told me that repetition is good in a teaching environment. (I hope he is right.)

South zooms into four hearts.

West leads the spade queen. How should the declarer-play and defense go?

Note that three no-trump has no chance. That is usually a tough contract to make when you have two or three aces to dislodge. The defenders have a lot of time to establish and run their long suit.

In four hearts, South starts with four losers: one in each suit.

He has 10 possible tricks: two spades, four hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. However, he will get those two club tricks only if East errs, since declarer has no dummy entry outside clubs.

South’s best chance is to win trick one with the spade ace and play a club, hoping the opponent with the ace wins immediately.

West, though, should play his eight, starting a high-low with an even number. East should then work out that declarer started with two clubs. (With four, South would not be attacking clubs this quickly; he would surely be drawing trumps.) So, East should duck the first club, take the second, and return a spade to kill the contract.

Dad who defers to son sends wrong message Dear Abby: You were wrong to advise “Starting Anew in Ohio” (in a previous column), the mother of a 10-year-old girl who wanted the bigger bedroom in their new house, to have her kids draw straws. When the girl made the request, her older brother said he didn’t care. The time to have drawn straws was when the girl first made the request, not two months afterward.

The girl is at an age when children can be particularly sensitive about trust issues, and the boy is old enough to know that words have consequences. If the parents reverse course now, the girl will learn that her parents’ promises mean nothing, and the boy will learn that he doesn’t have to worry about what he says because he can always change it later.

These are not good lessons to teach children. That the father would bow to the boy’s request made the situation worse. Maybe he’d think twice if he realized his daughter will now always doubt his word. – Judy In Ohio Dear Judy: You are not the only reader who told me my answer

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips wasn’t up to my usual standards.

In fact, not a single person who wrote to comment agreed with me, and their points were valid. Their comments: Dear Abby: Your solution won’t keep the peace in that household; it will end it. The daughter will learn her parents can’t be trusted to keep a promise; the son will think he can take anything he wants from his sister because, as the male, he gets his way.

No, Abby, a promise is a promise. And if there’s any lesson more important to teach our children, I can’t imagine what it is. – Holly In Pennsylvania Dear Abby: This is the time to teach that 12-year-old “young man” to be a man of his word. He made the decision that his sister could have the room. The daughter had the guts to ask for what she wanted. Good for her for asking for what she wants. Now they

should draw straws to determine the outcome?

The message this sends to the children is, “If you’re older, you can get what you want. If you make a promise, you can break it.” The daughter should not lose out on what she was promised. – Danielle In Wisconsin Dear Abby: May I offer a suggestion? The children should be told that each year around the anniversary of their moving to the new house that they will change rooms. It may take some effort and energy, but the benefit would be that both brother and sister get to experience the larger bedroom. It will teach them to compromise. – Tami In Colorado Dear Abby: Having been through this type of situation as a child, I can tell you it destroyed my trust in my mother.

Believe me, this will have far-reaching and unintended repercussions in that little girl’s life.

A promise is a promise! – Candace In The Rockies • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Genes aren’t necessarily predictors of Alzheimer’s disease Dear Doctor K: Alzheimer’s runs in my family. Will it help to get gene testing for this disease?

Dear Reader: Family history is indeed a risk factor for Alzheimer’s. If you have a parent or sibling with Alzheimer’s, you’re more likely to develop the disease than someone who does not have a close relative with this condition.

Genetics is most important in families with a history of early-onset Alzheimer’s (occurring between ages 30 and 60). The early-onset form accounts for less than 1 percent of all Alzheimer’s cases, but in most people with early-onset disease, the cause is one of several altered, or mutated, genes that the person has inherited from a parent.

Several genes responsible for early-onset Alzheimer’s have been identified. They are called APP, PSEN1 and PSEN2. If someone inherits one of these mutated genes, it is very likely (but not certain) he or she will develop the disease.

Testing for these genes is costly and is not usually covered by insurance. At this time, there is no treatment proven to prevent or slow the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. However, some people

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff want to know if they have one of these genes so they can use that information in planning for their future.

If one of my parents had developed early-onset Alzheimer’s, I would have wanted to know if I had inherited the gene. If so, I might have planned my career and my non-professional life differently. Fortunately, my parents did not develop this disease.

You also may choose to be tested. For you, like me, perhaps bad news is better than living with uncertainty. Or you may want the opportunity to enroll in trials for experimental treatments.

Everything I’ve said so far applies only to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Most cases of the disease start after age 60.

We know of just one gene that is a reasonably strong predictor of this more typical form of Alzheimer’s: APOE. People who inherit two copies of the APOE4 type of the APOE gene are at much higher risk for developing Alz-

heimer’s compared with people who have no copies of the gene.

However, most authorities do not recommend getting tested for the APOE4 gene. That’s because the gene does not provide a solid answer. If you inherit two copies of the gene, you may still avoid Alzheimer’s. And if you inherit no copies, you may still get it.

Nevertheless, some people want to know if they are at increased risk. I have not had myself tested for this gene.

Human genetics has developed enormously in the past 30 years.

In the 1980s, few scientists imagined that we would discover the structure of every human gene in their lifetime, or even their children’s lifetime. But we have. And we have identified thousands of genes that are linked to particular diseases.

However, this information has not yet led to many highly accurate predictions of what diseases a person is at high risk for, or to many cures. In tomorrow’s column, I’ll explain why.

Teens need, deserve privacy Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend is in his first year at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

We have been dating for three years. We correspond mainly by letters.

Lately, my mother has been opening his letters for me. I have no idea why she is doing this. I have given her no reason whatsoever to censor my mail.

When I asked her why she opened mail addressed to me, she got huffy and said that she was my mother and could do anything she wanted concerning me.

Having her open my letters makes me feel violated. I now have my boyfriend’s letters sent in care of my girlfriend who delivers them to me.

I think my mother was making a huge mistake when my mail was coming to my house. I’m sure that you will agree.

Mom has stopped talking to me since I told her the letters are now sent to a friend’s house. – Nameless, Milwaukee, Wisc.

Dear Nameless: Teens need and deserve privacy, and wise parents will honor it unless it’s abused. Young people grow to maturity when their rights are respected. This includes the right to open their personal mail!

A parent has no reason to snoop unless the teen’s behavior is such that parental investigation is necessary for the teen’s safety and welfare.

Violating a teen’s privacy just because, “I’m the mother,” is a power trip and should stop. It will only damage a parent-teen relationship.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 16-year-old girl who has an average IQ (I’ve been tested 3 times with the same result) but I study hard because I want to go to college.

My 17-year-old brother is just the opposite. He has been in the honors program since elementary school. Studies

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace are boring for him. He studies the minimum to maintain a B+/A- average. I maintain a B-/B average.

If things stay the same way after we both graduate from college, and you owned a company and needed a good employee, who would you hire, my brother or me?

My brother said that you are a smart man and would hire him because he has more potential because of his higher IQ. We have a lunch bet, and the loser pays. – Karla, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Karla: When I was coaching varsity basketball, if two players were competing for the same position and one had more talent, but the other had much more “grit,” I’d start the one with the greatest amount of “grit.” In fact, that happened several times during my coaching years, and I wasn’t disappointed.

I guess your brother now feels that he made a mistake thinking that I was smart, but the bottom line is that you win a free lunch.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and plan to join the military after I graduate from high school in June. I’ve never taken drugs of any kind, but when I was 15, some of my friends and I were involved in sniffing aerosol sprays. Does this mean that I’ve done drugs? Sniffing was my only sin. – Pete, Brooklyn, N.Y. Dear Pete: Sniffing aerosol sprays is a dangerous habit, but you would not be considered to be an abuser of drugs because you were a sniffer three years ago.

Real ‘Monument Women’ restore artifacts, optimism

By KATHERINE BOYLE The Washington Post Laura Tedesco hasn’t seen the film yet. But the State Department’s “Monument Woman” knows exactly what she would do if rockets rained down on the National Museum of Afghanistan.

“If I were at the museum and it were being rocketed, you better believe I’d be like, “Wait! I’ll get the Kanishka, you get the Buddha!’ “ Tedesco said. “All the other people at the museum would say the same thing.”

“The Monuments Men” is a love letter to the Laura Tedescos of yesteryear, featuring perfectly-honed talking points about the importance of preserving world cultures.

But Tedesco’s work at the State Department illustrates the modern saga that accompanies preserving culture during a prolonged and complicated war.

Tedesco, 44, is a cultural heritage program manager, the bureaucratic title for an archeologist tasked with identifying ancient Afghan sites in need of restoration. And she’s not alone in her work. While State invests in restoring ancient sites around Afghanistan as a tenet of the agency’s public diplomacy mission, the Department of Defense employs archeologists to teach soldiers how to avoid destroying them.

For archeologists, these jobs are rich and rewarding missions, but the modern story of cultural preservation during war is far less glamorous than George Clooney’s dramatization of events during World War II. Brave curators in “The Monuments Men” save Renaissance paintings from Nazis, but the State Department now must pick and choose between countless ancient sites that have weathered civil war, extremism and neglect. Although the

S.K. Vemmer/Department of State

The State Department’s Laura Tedesco, a U.S. archaeologist with a mission to protect Afghanistan’s ancient sites, meets an Afghan archaeologist at the Towers of Ghazni in October 2011 in Ghazni, Afghanistan.

“Monuments Men” got their Hollywood ending, archeologists in Afghanistan know they’re confronting a different enemy, one that doesn’t need an army of uniformed soldiers to cause monumental damage to culture. And as U.S. combat troops withdraw from the country this year, dangerous preservation work will continue in volatile regions such as Kandahar and Ghazni. Although some worry that ancient sites there will be destroyed after U.S. troop withdrawal, fear doesn’t preoccupy Tedesco.

“I can’t predict whether the Taliban will come and mess this up,” she says of sites the State Department has successfully restored since she arrived, in 2010. “But if we don’t do something because we’re afraid they might destroy things, then why are we here?

I might as well go home.”

Tedesco was at a deli in Charleston, S.C., when she received the first call.

“It was someone from the Department of State, and they asked, ‘Can you be on an interview in 30 minutes?’ “ she says.

Months earlier, she had

fired off a resume through USA Jobs to be the embassy’s archeologist and assumed it “went into the ether.” But after a few interviews, she got another call. The job was hers if she could be in Kabul in two weeks. She dropped everything and moved to Afghanistan for 16 months.

For Tedesco, an archeologist who fell in love with the region during graduate school, it was an unparalleled career opportunity. Before Afghanistan, she was employed by corporations seeking to avoid constructing buildings on sensitive sites in South Carolina.

“I wasn’t too thrilled with that job,” she said.

So, the then-40-year-old mother of two young children prepared for a position that had always been out of reach, a mission to protect ancient sites she had never seen up close. She had never worked in a war zone, but she took to the work quickly, meeting with village elders and Afghan partner groups to identify important cultural sites. Much of the job began with “drinking a lot of tea and smoking a lot of cigarettes,” she says, listening

to locals discuss their needs.

“I once asked an Afghan man from Bamian about the destruction of the Buddhas,” she said of the 6th-century statues the Taliban blew up with dynamite in 2001. “He teared up when I asked ... it shocked him to his core. It shocked Afghans and the world.”

After Tedesco’s listening tour, she helped choose and manage the sites that the State Department has invested in. Over 12 years, the department has invested $15 million in archeological and cultural preservation in Afghanistan, funding projects alongside international partners, including the German government and private foundations. One of its large-scale projects was the restoration of the Herat Citadel, an impressive monument that dates to 330 B.C. Over five years, the U.S. invested $1.2 million to restore a site the size of a football stadium.

“The governor of Herat said that it was one of the most important things the Americans had done for the city,” Tedesco said. “It’s a world monument.”

“This is such an important tool of foreign policy,” says Evan Ryan, assistant secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs.

“The U.S. is playing a part in protecting another country’s cultural identity, and in Afghanistan, preserving cultural identity helps to counter violent extremism.”

Going forward, Tedesco says she’s uncertain how much the federal government will invest. But she is certain work will continue.

“The projects we’re engaged in are multiyear projects,” she says. “They know we’re in it for the long haul.

You can’t go in and shore up a falling-down minaret and then say, ‘Alright, now we’re out of here!’”
